This is a great time for people to get ready for bad weather and power outages. We have many products designed to provide light and heat where there is no power, but perhaps our favorite is the Eton self-powered radio/flashlight. With a built-in hand-powered generator and a solar cell, this battery-powered radio can be charged without plugging into the grid. The radio section receives AM/FM and weather band frequencies while the light uses efficient LED bulbs. Plus you can charge your cell phone using the solar cell or the hand crank.

Garments, clothes, duds… whatever you call them, we love to talk about them. True, we may not be the height of the fashion industry, but the clothing we carry is the height of the function industry. Our clothes  are designed to work for you while you play, whether it’s keeping you warm in cold weather, cool in hot weather, dry in the rain or even bug-free. We enjoy examining the newest advances in performance clothing, and we’ll use this space to highlight some of them for you.

We get pretty excited about new gear, as many of you know. And there are oldies-but-goodies we love to brag about. That’s what you’ll find in this blog – gadget heads raving about backpacks, stoves, headlamps,  bike computers, trekking poles, water purifiers… all of the toys we love. Maybe we’ll even ask for you to share some of your favorites.
